- This video shows our local church clock striking 9. You can first see the quarter chime on the right striking, then the hour strike on the left.
If you look carefully, you can see the laser beam hitting the phototransistor on the right at the end of the video. We use this to monitor the clock. - Наука та технологія
Why do the quarter bells sound like they are in a horror movie
I have rung the bells here!! Lovely bells and I remember the clock case in the ringing room!! Well done for posting :)
xD
;)
It sounds like they use the lowest tone quarter bell as the hour bell.
4 bells instead of 5
I love how works
The striking fan was on warning before the chime started
is that necessarily bad?
@@Gearz-365 I know that. The question was a bit ironic, since the guy I replied to originally said it like it was a bad thing that the striking fan was on warning before the chime started.
They did it really fast
Lovely, but how does the clock chime and strike?
Maravilhoso ver ele funcionando
it souns like Big Ben in london And peace tower in canada
No it doesn't
IKR!
Westminster Chimes
where were the ropes that connect to the hammers that strike the bells? in the video I couldn't see the ropes that makes the hammer strike the bell
They are wires, not ropes. One left for the strike, and the ones for the chime on the right
You see the plastic pipe in the middle? One of the bell ropes goes through there. The other ones are directly below the respective bells.
What is this clock called
is there one in Switzerland that plays the Westminster chimes
I doubt it, Westminster Chimes are very rare in non English speaking European countries. The only places I in Europe can think of are the Roter Turm at Halle in Germany and the Hallgrimskirka in Reykjavik, Iceland.
Cathedral somino city repair clock
At 0:03-0:07, what is the purpose of the brief spin of the mechanism before it actually chimes?
It's the hour strike getting ready to strike the hours.
bishop dan the fan type mechanism is the governors,controls the speed,otherwise it would go too fast ect
The reason the fly fan moves briefly at the beginning is because it unlocks the camm that releases the great wheel that turns and rings the bells.
That's the "warning".

I have never seen or heard of a Westminster clock in Germany.
Maybe that's because North Woodchester is in the UK? :-)
Yes I know already .. I would not have here a clock tower with Westminster heard, perhaps 1/4 hours strike. This must be something typically English.
Jörg Langanki There are actually several church towers in Germany which sound the Westminster Quarters. They are quite uncommon, and most German towers use a simple "blind man's chime" on one or two bells.
No me too.
Audinos i know of maybe four. The speyer memorial church, st johns in sigmarignen, untermarchtaal, gescher, and a carrillon tower in haale
